Aunty Gladys speaking now - eastern suburbs BBQ Zeke's wife also a Z, no-one else so far. Gold Standard State tracers found the source as a US case who went into quarantine 28/04 in Sydney. Now they need to find who was the intermediary.

Data valid as at 00:00 GMT May 5th, 2021.
Note: As not all Australian States report at the same time, the data below is based on the previous full day reporting. 12 new cases for Australia and no deaths so the CMR is 3.047%. 6 new cases and 0 deaths for NZ so CMR is 0.989% and active cases 25. The UK had a higher 2,144 cases yesterday and 27 deaths. Just under 43k new cases in the USA yesterday and 839 deaths sees CMR at 1.780%. Note that the USA is actually minus one day due to time differences. Other notable points: Global cases pass 155M, the last 1M in 2 days; Global deaths pass 3,25M, the last 50k in 4 days; Europe passes 45M cases; India passes 21M cases; India sets a new global high with 412,618 cases; Trinidad (399); Maldives (734); Bahrain (1,450); Sri Lanka (1,939); Nepal (8,605); and India (412,618) ... recorded new daily highs; those in blue for the second consecutive day and those in red for a third or more consecutive day. No countries move above the 90th percentile for their 10 day average while Ukraine drops below.

Disappointing, but not at odds with what might be expected for some countries.

Love this bit from the article and you never know who you may cross : Five Kimia Farma employees have been arrested and are accused of washing nasal swab sticks and reusing them. According to the South China Morning Post, two lawyers who regularly flew out of Kualanamu airport say are planning to sue Kimia Farma. Could be alot of 00000000's in this one to pay.

Today’s NSW restrictions don’t address whether slightly awkward man-hugs are on or off the menu.

Having heard bits of replay of yesterday's presser, it seemed unusual and different to previous ones. Very snappy and fiery. And what was the kerfuffle on the QR code question? I didn't quite understand the angst. Quote:

With a name like that I think he'll fit right in, in Byron Bay. ![]() https://www.theage.com.au/national/v...05-p57p6g.html Crikey, 51 reported incidents in 4 weeks!

Note: As not all Australian States report at the same time, the data below is based on the previous full day reporting. 22 new cases for Australia and no deaths so the CMR is 3.045%. 4 new cases and 0 deaths for NZ so CMR is 0.987% and active cases 28. The UK had a higher 2,613 cases yesterday and 13 deaths. Just over 46k new cases in the USA yesterday and 742 deaths sees CMR at 1.780%. Note that the USA is actually minus one day due to time differences. Other notable points: Global cases pass 156M, the last 1M in 1 day; Sweden passes 1M cases; Belgium passes 1M cases; Brazil passes 15M cases - more than half the South American total; Asia passes 42M cases; India sets a new global high with 414,433 cases; Angola (392) - the previous high on 25/10/20; Nepal (8,970); and India (414,433) ... recorded new daily highs; those in blue for the second consecutive day and those in red for a third or more consecutive day. No countries move above the 90th percentile for their 10 day average while Libya drops below.

In the wake of the zombie apocalypse, various survivors struggle to stay alive. As they search for safety and evade the undead, they are forced to grapple with rival groups and difficult choices.

UK opening international travel next month I believe I just heard on the wireless.
Some sort of traffic light system... Australia and NZ on their limited list of countries. However... at this time we won't be able to accept them. More countries will follow and we will soon be under the scrutiny of other advanced countries as to why we are not following suit? I'm wondering if there is an agenda behind the apparent super slow roll-out of the vaccine?? By the end of the year I predict we will be able to travel to at least 1/4 of the world's countries. Not because we are ready, but because we will be forced to under international pressure and our own population demanding why we can't do the same? In time covid will be just another common virus we need to deal with and get a yearly vaccination that's modified to recent strains. Much the same as the flu. Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk

The main problem with lifting travel restrictions is that almost nowhere has a good handle on the issue at the moment and as we have just seen in the Maldives it only takes a few fly-ins to start a big wave when they had almost nothing. Yes, most of Europe is now better than it was 4 months ago but still racking up more than 110k cases per day so where would you like to go for your holiday? Or which country would you like to allow in here?

There is no perfect system. Right now the restrictions are justified and I agree with them but as vaccination percentages rise and more countries enter agreements to travel in certain conditions more will question why we can't do the same. Once we are mostly vaccinated and infections / deaths drop dramatically what will the next excuse be? As to countries? The green list England is adopting is a good start, as well as Vietnam, Hong Kong and any other country that has an obvious handle on the situation.

UK and US not far off. Give it 6 months and they'll open up with vaccinated countries. Europe will quickly catch up once they get going. Countries that have covid in the community but can't get access to vaccines will be left behind. |
